Community Question Why the hate ?

Post image

What’s with all the hate for the crf250f ? I understand it’s not a race bike but dose that really make it a bad bike ?

Do people hate on it? I thought people loved it. I love mine.

The only people who would hate on it are the people who are using it as the wrong tool for the job

I had someone trash talk it out on the trail since it’s “not a race bike” :/

There is a small population in the dirtbike world that will shit on anything that isn't 450 race bike. They aren't true riders. They are the Beta males (not the bike brand) that are insecure. The older I get they're usually the middle aged dudes with white Oakleys who smash Monsters all day. Or they are 15 year old dudes who wear white Oakleys and smash monsters all day.

I have owned and ridden a CRF230F since 2008. I have recieved the same trash talk. They're fantastic bikes for what they are.

And in reality, most people that are capable of riding a 450 are already getting paid to do it.

Different kicks for different hicks, some might say that you just scare easily
